Aztec Mask (Collaboration)

A collaboration with Vamoura. This one uses her "Carnival" fractal. It reminded me of something the ancient Aztec culture would do, so I've experimented with creating an aged stone texture patterned with jaguar masks that have been partially erased by time. We hope you enjoy. Please leave a comment and let us know what you think.

I tried an aztec design once. (cringing). This is soooooooo much better! Excellent choice in texture. Again, your work really compliments eachother's style.

Amazing how you can see the possibilities in these images and create a piece totally new. The jaguar mask just popped right out at the top of Vamoura's image, ears and all once you called it. Excellent job, Nathan.

This image looks great with the rocky framing better than it being alone. Another great collaboration!!
